Explanation:
Complete statement of the question is :
In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .
Part A
How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
Solution :
= tension force in the tow rope = 350 N
= length of the incline surface = 120 m
= work done by tension force = ?
The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as
= height gained by the rider = 30 m
= total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg
Potential energy gained is given as
= Thermal energy created
Using conservation of energy
It is as a result of gravity. (D)
This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.
The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.
G = 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²
This is your perfect answer
It is flexible. Water flow can be adjusted and even conserved according to the need for power. It is safe! Compared with the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydropower is a much safer system..
